1

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

chromosomes

chromatids

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


2

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


3

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has

mass depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


4

Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:

84% Answer Correctly

insulators

refractors

reflectors

conductors


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


5

As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:

65% Answer Correctly

fat

protein

starches

sugars


Solution

The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
